Armin,

minimize and restore the designer window, this will force a repaint. This will also get rid of leftover sizing grips.

>If I resize the container that's opened in the class designer using the Height/Width properties or the Move method, the container itself is not resized visually. That means, instead a green rectangle of the new size is shown inside the container. After saving, closing and reopening the class the container is being shown in the correct new size.
